According to preliminary investigations, Anup Kumar had quit his job a month ago and was dealing with financial losses after being cheated in a failed investment. The family was also reportedly under emotional stress due to their elder daughter Anupriya’s special needs. Despite employing three staff members, including two cooks and a caregiver, the family appeared to be overwhelmed by their personal struggles.
The house help told the police that the couple seemed happy the night before and had even asked the staff to pack for a trip to Pondicherry. This sudden turn of events has left neighbours and friends shocked.
No suicide note was found at the scene, and the police are exploring all possible angles, including financial distress and mental health issues. The tragedy has highlighted the unseen pressures families often face and the devastating consequences they can have.
